As the ISL schedule went for a toss due to the Covid outbreak in the bio-bubble in Goa, Chennaiyin FC sat largely unaffected. They had already played 11 games and were on a one-week break when teams struggled to deal with last-minute changes in schedule.
Now, as the tournament tries to limp back to normalcy, CFC are also back in action. And they couldn't have asked for a softer game than North East United FC, who are languishing at the bottom of the pile. With the Mumbai City FC vs Jamshedpur FC game on Friday postponed as well, a win on Saturday will help CFC go third on the table leapfrogging a host of teams who are a point or two ahead.
